Chorgota
Beach
Chorgota is a small secluded cove on the northeastern coast of Kefalonia, reached via the Agia Efimia to Fiskardo road. The beach is composed of smooth white pebbles and is lapped by crystal-clear azure water. Natural shade is provided by cypress and olive trees growing close to the shoreline. The cove gained wider recognition as a filming location for the 2001 film Captain Corelli's Mandolin, set on the island during the Second World War. Its position on this quieter northeastern stretch of coastline means it attracts fewer visitors than the better-known beaches.
